Random curiosity propelled me to create this post. Have you ever seen anyone driving in your town, city, or highway with those license plates that state, RN, PA, NP, MD on the back? What do you all think about that? Is that something you would consid...

Hi! The best answer I could give you (something that I do personally in my practice), would be to look at the literature regarding ECMO transducer level placement. This way, you will at least have a reliable resource to back your practice based on t...

Calling all NPs that work at White Plains Hospital in Westchester, NY! I was thinking about working there as an ACNP. Do you or someone you know work there? If so, what does the salary start at (round about) and how are your roles or responsibilitie...

Greetings Everyone! It brings me such great joy to announce that I have recently accepted a position at a Level One Trauma Center on a Trauma and Burn Surgical Step Down Unit. I am calling on all Trauma, Burn, and Medical Surgical Nurses to inform us...

Hi ICU-BSN, BSN, RN! Wow, thank you so much for your extensive response! You really opened my eyes to the various possibilities that I may come to encounter in my soon so be work experience! I will definitely take you up on asking questions should I ...

Greetings All, Nurse Practitioners now, more than ever, are practicing to the fullest extent of their state's Nurse Practice Acts. I am interested in pursuing further education in efforts to attain an advanced practice degree as an Acute Care Nurse P...

@Dodongo , Hey Dodongo! Wow! That is pretty impressive! Do you mind me asking what state this is in? I'm in NYC. How do you like general surgery? What are some of the things you do day to day in your role as a General Surgery NP? I completely agree w...

To be quite frank, the DNP vs MD debate is really a joke; and I mean that in the lightest of ways. I love nursing and nursing practice- I aspire to earn my DNP in the near future. However, Nursing and Medicine are in actuality two different tracks. W...

@ScottMedicRN Great observation! I too have noticed this in the hospitals I have been in. I think it has to do with the culture of the unit and the people on nights. Also, it should be noted that during night shift (depending on your facility), all y...

"Men are strong and they have bigger lung capacity and they are more powerful than us women yet they refuse to use that physical power." Are you implying that women are weak? -This is so wrong. I think this whole post needs to be reevaluated. I do n...

Greetings Fellow Brothers in Nursing, Trying to find comfortable scrubs for MEN, not women, not unisex. I feel like the unisex/women oriented scrubs tend to/ are meant to emphasize feminine features; I do not want scrubs that make me look like I swin...

LMAO! This was funny!

Anyone who feels as though they may need to call a provider in the middle of the night should do so, and with no remorse or fear. Why, you may be asking? Well, the provider on call is at home, in bed, sleeping, and getting paid a nice salary to answe...

Thank you everyone for all of the awesome suggestions! I'm still looking through everyone's ideas, so keep 'em coming! I would also like to add that in no way, shape, or form was, "swing in the wrong direction" meant to hurt anyone's feelings - as t...

Dear Fellow Nurses and Healthcare Professionals, I say with great sorrow that I was just received a rejection letter from Columbia University's Post BSN - DNP AG-ACNP program. I graduate from my BSN program this coming May, and I am currently in sear...

@Luckyyou , Thank you for your reply! I am curious as to how being a patient care tech before being hired as an RN would help the new graduate acclimate to the CTICU; I have never heard of this practice (only hiring new grads who have been PCTs). Doe...

Dear Nurse Practitioners, I have been forming an interest in establishing a private practice clinic in my future. I know insurance/ billing is a major issue for all healthcare providers; I have even heard of insurance companies not reimbursing nurse ...
